Thread: Tropics 2018...

Just got an email from Lamar and he said they had about half the down lights pulled but not pulling any panels. It would probably bust them apart anyway so they figured just put new ones in if they are blown out. HAHA!

@ 6:30am Steve Jones captured this image of the pier...


Let's hope and pray it just as intact Wednesday morning!

And given that the ground is already saturated, we'll see flooding in all the normal places.
Just a little increase in intensity and we'll be looking at a Cat 1.
Not good.

Just saw an updated forecast calling for it to hit most of AL. Good luck all and be safe.

Y'all be safe tonight and in the morning! Prayers coming from us Indiana folk for all our southern friends in the path of Gordon.!

Rain bands are just now moving into our area, the eye wall is showing up well on radar now too.
Its going to be an interesting night.

You guys stay safe down there. Sending prayers from North Alabama. Keep us posted!

The pier closed @ 2pm
@ 4pm Buoy 42012 had wind gusts near 50 mph and seas over 11 feet.
Waves of that size can be seen (offshore SE of the pier) on these videos taken by Ritchie Russel...

Get everything tied down and stay safe under cover
